Nikkatsu Trailer Theatre # 3:
A DRAGON SYMBOL
ADORNS THEIR HELMETS!


Well I don’t know about you readers, but I’m already heading to my local picture house to demand a ticket for Yasuharu Hasebe’s third and final instalment in the Stray Cat Rock franchise, and the fact this is neither 1970 nor Tokyo be damned.

I haven't seen her Straycat series. I bought all four Scorpion DVDs. Fantastic film making. The style, imagination and quality towers over similar American fare.

Thanks Elliot. Yeah, the 'Scorpion' films are absolutely incredible.

The SCR films don't bring anything like the same level of imagination & way out craziness - they're just easy-going youth / biker movies really - but they're all a lot of fun, and 'Sex Hunter' in particular stands out as a really well made, slightly more serious film - definitely one of my favourites.
